EVERY body in West Virginia realizes or
onvbt 10 at least the fact that we have to
depend largely or altogether on foreign
capital 10 develop and open up the re-
sources OF the State, hence the great neces'
sity of treating capital invested IN the
State with Justice and fairness. Adyan
tages ought not be taken under the laws
To pursue toward railroad companies a
Iegalized system OF robbery in procuring
rights of way &c, making them pay I'M
reasonable and extortionate prices. The
Constitution Of the State says that private
property can not be taken for public
use without Just compensation. A Just
compensation ought in all cases to be OBJ
tanned; then railroad companies can not
c,rnp!sin. We have ksIrd Of some instan-
ees recently where unjust aud extortion-
ate values were fixed under the law. This
will not do. 1t causes capitalists to be
chary and prevents them from investing
in the State. Capital invested in railroads
Is entitled to the same degree OF justice
that is melted out to capital invested IN
other enterprises.

THE postal telegraph is said to be run al
q lose in Euglaud. The addition, however
of A cent or two a message would cover the
deficiency. The question involved seems
20 be whether the government could run
telegraph plant with no more expense than
the private Telegraph companies now are
under. The latter aim to make money
and thew make it By the million. The
government would not want to make
money-simply the expenses. The result
of government control, providing the gov
eminent could conduct its plant as cheapiy
as private plants are now conducted, would
De an immense saving in tolls. There Is
plenty OF time, however, TO inquire INTO all
the details Of the matter.

will cause the following extracts to be read
by all with interest. In the course OF his
remarks he said:
'In responding 20 this toast, The Pres
ident of the United States the sentiment,
undoubtedly, relates more to the high
Office than to any individual who has ever
been elevated to this exalted position.

Of the United States more than twenty nil
lions Of persons eligible to be elected Pres
idept of the United States have lived in
this country, but out of this number only
TWENTY-FIVE persons have been called upon
to I'LL this Office.
The President is the chief executive
officer of the nation-snd our Constitution
has delegated to him great power. Il Is
his duty to see that all the laws of the
United States are faithfully observed. He
is the Comnander-in-ehief of all the an
mics and nayies of the United States.
Upon him deyolyes the duty OF making
treaties with other nations and preserving
the rights of the country over which he
rules. Il is his constitutional right a.
well a. his duty to veto any bill passed by
Congress when he believes the operations
would not be for the best interests of the
country. II is his duty TO select the
heads of the various departments through
which all the business Of the Government
is transacted.
He selects the Chief Justice OF the
United States and all the Associate JUS
tiees. In many respects his power Is
greater than Of the crowned heads Of
Europe

instrumental in giving Us a republican
form of government; JEFFERSON, who
penncd the declaration of independence and
